Ramp Expands Public Sector Offerings with Ramp for Public Sector; Announces Partnerships with Carahsoft, Omnia Partners, and RJ Young

NEW YORK - March 3, 2026 - Ramp, the leading financial operations platform, announced the expansion of its Public Sector offerings with Ramp for Public Sector, designed to bring real-time visibility and automated compliance to State, Local, and Education entities. Ramp also announced partnerships with Carahsoft Technology Corp., OMNIA Partners, and RJ Young, enabling Public Sector organizations to procure Ramp more easily through trusted contract vehicles, distribution channels, and value-added resellers.

As public institutions face rising accountability standards and tighter budgets, many still rely on financial systems that provide visibility only after funds are spent. Without real-time oversight, payment errors and policy violations are often discovered too late, increasing compliance risk and manual workload for already lean finance teams. These visibility gaps add up - across U.S. Federal programs, improper payments have totaled $2.7 trillion over the past two decades.

State and Local Governments, K-12 schools, and higher education institutions use Ramp to prevent non-compliant spend and reduce manual finance work. In 2025 alone, these organizations saved $94 million with Ramp, 80% driven by automated controls that stopped wasteful spend before it occurred, while eliminating 213,000 hours across expense, approvals, and accounting.

• "Ramp has given our team back over 100 hours per month," said Brent Davis, VP of Finance at the City of Ketchum, Idaho. "We used to spend entire days tracking down receipts and reconciling transactions. Now it's all automated, and we can focus on what matters-serving our community."
• "Our accounting team went from spending three to four hours each month on reconciliation to just 15 minutes," said Doug Volesky, Director of Finance at the City of Mount Vernon. "Ramp has effectively cost the city nothing thanks to cash back that exceeds our annual subscription cost, and we've blocked thousands of dollars in non-compliant spend before it happens."
• "Employees are able to focus on what they need to do to serve our mission," said Carey Peek, CFO, KIPP Nashville Public Schools. "We don't want faculty and staff worried about invoices and expense reports. We want them focused on our amazing students and our exceptional programs."

Modernizing Public Sector Financial Oversight

Ramp for Public Sector is built for public finance, combining proactive spend controls, real-time oversight, and compliance-ready infrastructure in a single platform. Capabilities include:

• Automated compliance with Government spend rules : Ramp tracks and enforces complex statutory requirements, such as small-business spend quotas or vendor-level caps, that agencies today manage manually.
• Real-time visibility and audit-ready records: Finance teams see committed and actual spend as it happens, not weeks later. Every transaction includes complete documentation, policy context, and approval trails to eliminate the scramble at month-end and ensure continuous audit readiness.
• Enterprise-grade security and compliance infrastructure : Operates in Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP^®) Ready, GovRAMP Ready and TX-RAMP Provisional environments, meeting the rigorous security and compliance standards required for each.
• Unified platform replacing multiple legacy tools : Ramp consolidates corporate cards, expense management, bill payments, and vendor management into a single system, replacing the patchwork of bank card programs, ERP add-ons, and disconnected point solutions that slow agencies down today.

"Public Sector finance teams are under constant pressure to do more with less, managing complex compliance requirements while ensuring every dollar serves its intended purpose," said Max Freeman, VP of Sales at Ramp. "Ramp gives them real-time control to prevent waste before it happens, so they can focus on serving their communities instead of reconciling spreadsheets."

Procurement Made Easier

Ramp has expanded its Public Sector distribution network, allowing agencies to buy through established contract vehicles and reseller partners without disrupting existing procurement processes:

• Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, serves as Ramp's Public Sector distributor, making the company's solutions available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft's reseller partners and its National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) contract.
• OMNIA Partners contract streamlines purchasing for eligible entities.
• RJ Young joins as a value-added reseller supporting regional and state customers.

"Public Sector organizations deserve the same level of innovation and operational efficiency as the private sector," said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft President. "Through our partnership with Ramp and our reseller network, Carahsoft is enabling agencies to modernize financial processes while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and fiscal responsibility. We look forward to expanding access to Ramp's solutions."
